00:00Aaron, if we can go back a little bit on this kind of topic,
00:03was it just sort of an easy, smooth ride for you with fans when you got here?
00:08You played big-time college football.
00:10I'm sure you probably had some idea of what the Bills' reputation was
00:14in terms of the fan base.
00:16And was it just like always wheels up when it came to this?
00:20Or, you know, because it was a team that had not won in so long, was it bumpy?
00:27Honestly, I've been very grateful and blessed to be a part of creating Bills Mafia.
00:33The guys that created the whole thing actually hit me up on Twitter in 2011
00:39when I first got there.
00:43We designed the logo together and created the whole thing.
00:48I didn't know you were part of that origin story.
00:51I missed that.
00:51That's awesome.
00:52Yeah, it's a cool story.
00:54But those guys hit me up very early.
00:57I think when I first got there and we talked about it,
01:00like coming home with a name and creating a big fan base.
01:03Not to say there wasn't a big fan base already,
01:06but it just wasn't what it is now.
01:08Like the Mafia, I feel like, has grew exponentially since early 2011.
01:14So I think coming from college,
01:19I honestly didn't even know the fan base of Buffalo when I got drafted
01:24because I honestly didn't know anything about Buffalo until literally when I got here.
01:29So everything was so new to me.
01:31But seeing it grow to where it is today is just an awesome sight to see.
